It’s about 3 miles long. Very tall and beautiful trees and a creek. Gorgeous views!! It was 16 of us ages 4 to 75. We all enjoyed it. Trees are just all different and beautiful to look at. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

Nelson Family Vineyards

One of the most beautiful family owned ranches in Mendocino County. Over 2000 acres with spectacular views of the vineyards, Bartlett pear orchards, Olive Trees, Redwood Grove, and 200 year old Oaks makes this one of the most desired stops for wine and nature enthusiasts. We invite you to visit our tasting room where you can experience the passion you will only find in a family owned boutique winery.

This winery and tasting room hit all the right notes on all aspects including quality of wine, food and service. The views of the hills are also spectacular from the outdoor seating area of the tasting room. This is not your typical massive, noisy, overly crowed Napa tasting room. It's more of a private (but open to all), quieter, and much more relaxing winery instead. I can't wait to go back.
